Afghanistan governmentGeneral NewsWorld News Afghan Women’s Beauty Salons Banned by Taliban by Ryan Lee July 4, 2023 written by Ryan Lee July 4, 2023 0 comments Bookmark 51 In a recent development, the Taliban government has announced a ban on women’s beauty salons in Afghanistan, as confirmed by a government spokesperson on Tuesday. This prohibition adds to the series of restrictions imposed on the rights and freedoms of Afghan women and girls. Previous edicts have denied them access to education, public spaces, and most employment opportunities. Mohammad Sidik Akif Mahajar, the spokesperson for the Taliban-run Virtue and Vice Ministry, did not provide specific details about the ban but acknowledged the existence of a letter that was circulating on social media. In the letter issued by the ministry, dated June 24, it is stated that the ban has been ordered verbally by the supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada. The prohibition applies to the capital city, Kabul, as well as all provinces, and provides a one-month notice for beauty salons to conclude their operations. Following the notice period, salons must close down and submit a report regarding their closure. The reasons behind the ban are not mentioned in the letter. This announcement follows Akhundzada’s recent claim that his government has taken steps to improve the lives of women in Afghanistan. Despite initial assurances of a more moderate rule compared to their previous regime in the 1990s, the Taliban has enforced severe measures since taking control of Afghanistan in August 2021, during the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces. Women have been prohibited from public spaces, such as parks and gyms, and media freedoms have been suppressed. These measures have triggered widespread international criticism, further isolating the country at a time when its economy has collapsed and exacerbating an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
